Samuel Flick, European Sales Manager for Microdrones, sees great opportunity ahead for the commercial drone industry, especially having recently completed a successful BVLOS corridor mapping mission on the Autobahn.  The mission was a key advancement in Beyond Visual Line of Sight, (BVLOS), making it possible to use drone aircraft for extended lengths of time and distances that would not otherwise be possible in advanced corridor mapping. "Microdrones is really at the forefront of this," Flick said. "Right now in Germany, the law requires a 400 meter line of sight. BVLOS really unlocks the potential of the drones."  BVLOS is currently not allowed (or it's highly restricted) in most countries throughout the world. Drones are required to be flown within a certain line of sight of the operator due to safety concerns, operational control and flight duration times.  Samuel says, “By law it’s forbidden to fly out of the line of sight.  To get approval for BVLOS you need to get a lot of regulatory obligations and you have to be mindful of the air space around you. You need to be able to prove the drone is capable of safe flight, the pilot is trained, and the operation is planned.”

Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind with Samuel Flick of Microdrones

There are great things ahead for the commercial drone industry, said Samuel Flick of Germany-based Microdrones, which recently completed a successful corridor mapping mission on the Autobahn. Flick discussed the systems and commercial partnerships that made this feasible in this episode of Propelling.The mission was a key advancement in Beyond Visual Line of Sight, or BVLOS, making it possible to use drone aircraft for extended lengths of time and distances that would not otherwise be possible in advanced corridor mapping. "Microdrones is really at the forefront of this," Flick said. "Right now in Germany we have by law a 400 meter line of sight barrier, so you have view of the drone at every time. BVLOS really unlocks the potential of the drones."
